Default PttM Map Mod

[hawk]

A friend of mine - thegrindre, who's also a member here - were discussing the default map and thought it could use a little work, so I rolled up my sleeves and set about to do some editing on it.

I've only been working on it for about 2 or 3 months, so it's not quite complete, with the concept we started out with, but I thought I'd offer a beta test version of the map here to see if there's any interest and hopefully get some feedback on it.

This map mod was done to better reflect real world roads and road names, as best as it can be done in PttM.

The road work is complete, at least for this leg of the project, but there is still some minor scenery work to do. Once I get this section done, I hope to continue the project in other areas.
As it stands, all the work has been done in the southern area of the US. Here's a partial list of what has been changed.

I-10 now runs from I-95 to Los Angeles
Split I-75 & I-95 between Atlanta & Miami
Rotated Interstate split at I-10/I-85 east of New Orleans
Relocated Army dock to outside of city limits east of El Paso & replaced with Car Dealer dock at original location
Removed Interstate split on the east side of Albuquerque and added a new back road to Dallas.
Removed Interstate split on the south side of Las Vegas
Rerouted I-5 into Los Angeles
Rerouted M-37 straight into Los Angeles
Merged I-40 & I-10 east of I-15
Rerouted I-15 straight into I-8 going into Mexico
Added Weigh Station on I-5 and US-101 between Los Angeles & San Francisco
Removed 4 border crossings in El Paso and added one south of El Paso
Moved Rio Grande south of El Paso
Added Weigh Station north of Guaymas on the US side
Added Weigh Station east of Albuquerque on I-40

Now I have all the gas stations that I've missed before.

[hawk]

I only added two gas stations. Both on I-10.
One between the interchange to Monterrey and El Paso and one just east of L.A.

The gas station between El Paso and the Interchange has been moved since the release on my site to in between the east and west bound traffic, in the middle of the road.
I'll see if I can get a screenshot of it.

Here's three screenshots from within the editor.

I was wondering if you could add the different image of the each station. It would be far cool to have all the different stations in the game, not the ones with the same name and emblem. I've changed the game original ones. Added some I prefer but I don't really now how to make more of them.

[hawk]

I don't think you can have more than one brand in the game.
